The reseeding thread

Good old fashioned mixed farming and he does not even realize he is going broke. Buys calves weanlings and finishes as bulls or steers . He has sheep as well does all his own work except combining and sowing . Keeps his own Barley and beet.. The other Saturday I was over with him and he arrived in the yard with five reared calves he had bought to even up numbers to use up Pneumonia vaccines he was using. I reckon if he went into dairying he would have less work.
He wouldn't know himself.
 
D day. The day you either make a balls of it or not. That one side set now to do the other. Sweat drop..

They look a bit wide on the spacing to me,also putting the seed a bit deep for my liking.

 
Got our wettest field reseeded 2 weeks ago, saw first seedling at day 5, photo of field green is from day 12. Never saw grass seeds move so quick.

Disced with subsoiler legs 14 days post spraying off
2.5t ground lime
Powerharrowed once
3 bags of 10 10 20
Rolled ( dads idea - worked very well, gave a great seed bed)
Sowed behind with our own spring tine harrow and broadcast apv seeder
Rolled

We'll have 23% of milk block reseeded this year.
Should feed a few more cows next year
